Cleveland and Minnesota finally completed their trade on Saturday, sending Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett to the Timberwolves in exchange for Kevin Love. While Minnesota GM Flip Saunders has stood in the spotlight for snapping up the 2014 No. 1 overall pick, it's the Philadelphia 76ers' Sam Hinkie that has quietly made out in the deal of the summer.

As part of the trade, Minnesota also agreed to send Alexey Shved, Luc Mbah a Moute and a protected first round pick to the 76ers for forward Thaddeus Young, who had an incredible first half of the 2013-14 season as he tried to force his way out of Philadelphia.

Lost amid the hubub for Love's pairing with LeBron James and a new era for basketball in Minnesota is the power that future first round pick could hold. Originally from the Miami Heat, the 76ers' first round pick is top-10 protected in 2015 and 2016. It becomes completely unprotected in 2017.

Why is that important?

Miami recently added a slough of free agents including Luol Deng, Josh McRoberts and Danny Granger while re-signing Dewyane Wade and Chris Bosh. It would take a monumental implosion for the Heat to deliver their pick to the 76ers in 2017, but the promise of a high draft pick at least adds a spark of value. Miami are slated to still be a playoff team in the Eastern Conference, which means they will likely convey their pick to Philadelphia in 2015.

The 76ers will still be categorically bad in 2014-15, and although they owe their 2015 first rounder to Boston, it is top-14 protected. This will likely give Philadelphia not only their own first round pick, but Miami's as well. That's in addition to the three 2015 second round picks the 76ers have accumulated through trade.

Philadelphia has slowly built a stockpile -- much like Danny Ainge has in Boston -- of draft picks to be used at a later date. When the time comes, Hinkie can decide to either build his team out with solid draft picks or package them in a blockbuster of his own, flipping the switch from bottom feeder to contender.

It's not difficult to understand plan for Philadelphia. Hinkie has been in long-term rebuilding mode for some time, adding high-risk, high-reward players in Joel Embiid and Nerlens Noel. Along with 2013-14 Rookie of the Year Michael Carter-Williams, the core in Pennsylvania is solid. Their cap situation is also increasingly palatable, where the 76ers stand with just $19.1 million committed for 2015-16 and $12.9 for the year after.

With a young core, draft picks and cap flexibility, there should be no surprise when Hinkie pulls the trigger on the right deal sometime over the next two summers.

No matter what Philadelphia ends up getting paid for Young, there's both short and long-term value for Hinkie and the 76ers. The move represents the completion of an asset package that also clears salary cap for signing free agents, the ability to trade for a star or to take back salary in order to build out their team as part of a larger deal.

Yes, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be near the top of the East in 2015, and with a fresh-faced athletic squad, basketball in Minnesota might finally be fun again.

Meanwhile, it's the Philadelphia 76ers who have managed to fly under the radar, silently building their franchise back from the ashes.
